Cheap Gym - £9.99 per month, no contract!

In the business district of Manchester, a new gym is going to open in October - it's called Pure Gym. As you can imagine, in a brand new development in the city centre, surrounded by offices, I expected the monthly subscription to be around £60. I then found out it didn't have a pool so thought it may drop to around £40 as it still had a captive market.

It turns out that it's £9.99 a month for the first year if you join soon, think it then rises to £15.99. Their website has all the details but basically it's £10 joining fee then it's £9.99 a month with no contract so can get out whenever, plus I think there's a 14 day money back guarantee from when the gym opens. When it does open, fully airconditioned, open 24/7 too for those insomniacs or late night workers!

In these times when we need to be watching our spend, this is a welcome relief. The Manchester one is first to open I think, in October but by the look of the website, there's one due to open in Wolverhampton soon too and then elsewhere in the country.

At that price I'll keep my current gym membership open for the first month I think but it seems really really good deal!

The saving can be reinvested into some Personal Training sessions I think... actually make going to the gym have some effect!
